What is Canopy Care™?
Exciting news from ArborWise!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Canopy Care, a new plant health care (PHC) program coming to our clients this Spring 2025.
Through years of consulting unbiased industry experts, large investments in education, training, and equipment we have been able to pinpoint key issues within traditional plant health care.

This program will be addressing major concerns within traditional PHC, our goal being to improve our current protocols in place for the services we offer to protect the life and health of the trees.
Where traditional plant health care relies on opinion to treat visible symptoms, the ArborWise Canopy Care Program will focus on taking a holistic approach to tree health and reflect current industry research to provide a more comprehensive diagnostic program for our clients.
This holistic approach to tree care not only improves the health of the trees but also strengthens the overall environment.
There are three approaches to consider when delving into tree care.
Canopy Care
1. Tree Service
Tree Service focuses on providing specific treatment based solely on client needs or specifications. This approach often leads to malpractice in tree service as treating the symptoms does not address the root cause.
Canopy Care
2. Planning and Coordination
Where tree services meet the needs of the client, Tree care acknowledges the immense complexity of tree biology and relies on opinion to treat visible symptoms. This leads to short term improvement in tree health, but possible long-term tree and environmental repercussions.
Canopy Care
3. Tree Management
Tree Management on the other hand, takes a comprehensive holistic approach to traditional tree care, utilizing diagnostic tools, careful measurement, and client education to look beyond just the symptoms. Tree management provides a framework for treating the root causes of the tree’s problems, the goal being better long-term tree and environmental health. Sometimes tree surgery is required but our goal is to avoid drastic measures.

Foundations™ Soil Health
“90% of urban tree issues stem from soil problems.” – James Patterson, soil scientist.
ArborWise Foundations™ is our comprehensive soil health program. Proactively avoiding tree disease treatment by keeping your trees healthy.
Urban soil is like a desert for trees, disrupting their natural nutrient recycling and depleting soil quality. We often remove organic material that could enhance soil, harming both trees and beneficial soil microbes.
To compensate, many use chemical fertilizers, which are popular for quick results like greener foliage. However, extensive research indicates that fertilizing with macronutrients (Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorous) can harm both trees and soil by:
- Increasing pest infestations, leading to more pesticide use.
- Disrupting root-to-shoot balance and heightening drought stress.
- Killing soil organisms vital for nutrient absorption, creating a dependency on supplements.
- Causing excessive branch growth, resulting in more mechanical stress and pruning needs.
To promote the health of our trees, it is essential to collaborate with the natural processes of soil development. We are pleased to introduce ArborWise Foundations™, a comprehensive soil health program designed to restore natural nutrient cycling for trees while re-establishing soil food webs. Over time, this program can help mitigate the typical effects of urban soil compaction.
Benefits include:
• Increased nutrient cycling and soil life
• Reduced pest infestations and drought stress
• Stronger, more resilient root systems
Annual services include mulch replenishment and compost layering, contributing to long-term soil building.

Step 4: Control
Tree Disease Treatment
ArborWise Control™ is the last step of Canopy Care. Control™ will be used for addressing common and persistent diseases in the landscape.
Trees that lack proper resources typically struggle to produce sufficient immune responses, which is why we tend to see more incidence of pests and disease in urban landscapes.
We believe in addressing the problem, instead of treating the symptom, which is why we recommend our Foundations™ program for every landscape tree. However, there are issues that can be exacerbated by climate or introduced from other ecosystems that demand that we assist our trees in the form of treatment. Control™ is different from other plant healthcare programs.
The key elements that make Control™ different are:
- Intense monitoring, including within different microclimates of our region.
- Tailored adjustment of treatment delivery based on monitoring
- Mindful modulation of treatments to eliminate resistance and for maximal effectiveness
- Protocols that deliver beyond basic and outdated industry standards
